How does the economic viability of Dutton's nuclear power plan compare to alternative renewable energy sources, given the criticisms of its underlying assumptions and cost estimations?

Dutton's proposal is problematic due to its unrealistic cost estimations and assumptions about energy consumption. Experts dispute the economic viability and feasibility of the project, pointing to the CSIRO's prediction that building the first plant by 2037 is impossible, and concerns about the long-term need for coal power plants. The plan's reliance on yet-to-be-built storage facilities for both nuclear power plant waste and AUKUS submarine waste further highlights the lack of preparedness.

Johnson cited a conversation with Trump post-election, suggesting Trump wouldn't want his administration marked by a perceived Western defeat.
